College Admissions Essay: A Passion For Children

Wandering into the present I recall earlier that day volunteering with kids again at a different preschool. Hope fills my emotions when I look into the future at my job teaching two after school clubs starting in the fall. This is a new challenge that I will face, and I am excited to not only help children with math and reading but also to grow further as a person.

Life isn't worth living if you are not willing to accept the challenges thrown your way. How I grew up wasn't easy. It, instead, was rousing from being adopted out of China, learning a new culture, to facing some hindrance. Nevertheless, I couldn't have done this on my own. With the help of God all things are possible.

I remember waking up that day and that feeling in my stomach, knowing what was about to happen. Growing up I knew about my father's sickness. My family, I recall, was always supportive. No one ever thinks about how one day, everyone you’re around for years, can just vanish. I cherished my friends as I was growing up. I lived there for a majority of my life, up until fourth grade. I remember sitting at a neighbor's house and having the mother come into the room and inform me that I need to be home swiftly. As I ran home, my head was crowded with thoughts to the point where I could not even think about why I was supposed to be home quickly. That day marked the transition of what would be the biggest change in my life. As by dad became sicker,

The romance began when I was four. I still remember when my mom dragged me, kicking and scratching, to the local Long and McQuade’s for violin lessons. At that age, I was more interested in making music with a purple dinosaur than I was with a wooden box. I have put thousands of hours of practice over thirteen years into taming its rough voice, and now, I am equally capable of producing roars of rage as I am sighs of satisfaction.

Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature.Real beauty comes from learning ,growing ,and loving in the ways of life . That is the art of life. These programs leave a passion in me for the pure knowable world and these programs inflame me with a curiosity .Most people complain of fortune ,few of nature ; and the kinder they think the latter has been to them,the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former .The truth is ,that nature ,seldom profuse,has distributed her gifts more equally than she is generally supposed to have done.Education and situation make the great difference .Culture improves,and occasions elicit .I believe that enthusiasm will take me further than any amount of experience .Enthusiastic people can

History is my academic passion -- specifically the archeological and genealogical bases of individuals and families. But setting aside bones, genetics, and all that fun evidence, I also love to study the more anecdotal past and present situation of a family: where they've lived, what they've done, and how they've done it. Studying my own family, i've found that neither of my parents, or my soon to be step-dad has obtained a degree, and with my older brother choosing the armed forces route, I'm left to navigate on my own and chart new territory for my family -- I will be the first to get a college degree. Hopefully my choice will influence my younger sibling to also pursue her goals. I believe by making this decision, to be the first to

For this project we had to collaborate and create a presentation that models a child profile. Our student was 17 year old Aaron, who is apart of Chatsworth Senior High School’s Life Skills program. This program is a transitional program designed for students to receive education in the morning and obtain job experience for the last half of the day. Aaron is currently working at his father’s business, but it has been reported that there are numerous problems with Aaron’s behavior and skills. His father has asked for help in fixing this predicament because he doesn’t want to fire his son. As a group, it is up to us to analyze the information and decide a proper course of action for Aaron.

    What a person does to make a living often defines who that person is. Because so much time and energy is invested into work, work is often seen as an extension of oneself. One of the first questions that someone asks after meeting you for the first time is about what you do for a living. The belief is that by knowing what you do, one should be able to tell something about who you are. People almost never ask the more telling question of whether or not you are happy. They rely on the nature of the occupation to tell them something about your happiness. If you are a doctor, lawyer, or celebrity, it is assumed you are happy because of the money associated with those

I cannot say that growing up in the family I am in hasn't been difficult for me, because it has. However, to say that it is something I'd like to change if I could, I also cannot say. The turbulence and commotion I have experienced has sculpted my character. Had I not grown up the way I did, I would not be as tenacious and ambitious as I am today. Through the struggles I've faced and whom I've faced them with, I have not let them define me, and I have even grown more because of them.

Furthermore, I do not regret a single part of this year, and even parts of eighth grade I was dreading, such as the National History Day project, turned out to be wonderful learning experiences that I genuinely enjoyed participating in. Thank you, teachers for continuing to find ways to encourage our further learning. Thank you, fellow classmates for helping me and making me smile. Thank you, Mrs. Arzola, Mrs. Chung, and all of the South Pointe staff for investing in so many new programs. And finally, thank you to the whole South Pointe community for supporting each other as we all continued to grow together and find out what our true passions are. I am both excited and extremely nervous for my journey into high school, and I can only hope to find another school as great as this one, that will continue to shape our lives just as South Pointe has. So, as we exit the grounds today and move onto high school, I can’t help but think that we will all reconvene here when our children will have the privilege of walking in our

Money is something everyone is pursuing and some people exhaust themselves to get it. People work countless hours in jobs they hate, waking up everyday going to their same cubicle working from 9 to 5 and going home feeling miserable and stressed. It’s not about finding a job that makes you a lot of money, it's about doing something that makes you feel good about your work and passionate about what you do. Finding a job that is not only meaningful to you but also helping someone else, nothing will make you feel better than that. Having a job that is bettering someone else’s life and bettering your own financially is the best job you can have.

The pursuit of attending college has been a personal desire and goal for as long as I can remember. While maintaining a rigorous academic course load, I also had a passion for excelling in my music endeavors. My superior GPA and yearly testing scores broadened my career choices but made it difficult to discern whether I wanted to pursue something in the field of medicine, education, or music. The academics, experiences, and activities that I have been involved with throughout my life, definitely have shaped and encouraged me to think deeper about what it is that I would truly love to excel in on the college level and pursue as a life-long career.

On March 28th, 1999 in Gallipolis, Ohio at Holzer Hospital, I, Owen Tanner Greene was born. I am a current resident of Jackson, Ohio, living with my mother, Sara Greene, father, Michael “Mike” Greene and my siblings – Brennen, Jensen and Sadie Greene. I attend Oak Hill Union Local High School, located in Southern Ohio, in the small Village of Oak Hill. As a young child, my preschool education was provided through Christian Life Academy of Jackson, Ohio. Progressing two years through preschool, I was then able to move forward into grade school at Southview Elementary, located in Jackson, Ohio as well. After excelling through grade school, I then moved onto Jackson Middle School for three years. From middle school, I transitioned to Jackson High School for my freshmen and sophomore years. The summer between my sophomore and junior year, I made the bold decision to transfer to Oak Hill Union Local High School to complete my high school career. Well, now that I have

My intended major is Child Development. For me, Child Development is a fascinating field because I get to know how a child changes biological, psychological, and emotional between birth and the end of adolescence. Also, being able to understand children can be helpful for future careers, such as pediatricians and child psychologists. During my first year in college, I took a child development class and it was a interesting how a child develops and how each child is different. I had a hard time in the class, but it was starting point in where I began to find my own interest to pursuit in Child Development. I believed majoring in Child Development would help me understand each child’s behavior, and be able to assist children with their problems.

I have truly enjoyed working and living here in Monument Valley. I appreciate having had the opportunity to work with students, parents and each of you including the previous co-workers. Thank you for the support, patience, and encouragement you have provided me at Monument Valley High School.
